Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Contact Cellular Assay
Description:  The test compounds at various concentrations, also prepared by serial dilutions as described above, are added to the test wells. The volume of test compound added to each test well was 12.5 μL, to yield final concentrations of 20 μM, 5 μM, 1.25 μM, 312.5 nM, 78.125 nM, 19.531 nM, 4.883 nM, 1.221 nM, 0.305 nM, and 0.076 nM. Each test compound concentration was tested in duplicates.In addition to the inhibitor control and test wells, the 96 well assay plate includes positive control wells which contained the mixture of human plasma and ellagic acid without C1NH inhibitor or test compounds, and background wells which contained neither the mixture of human plasma and ellagic acid nor the test compounds. The total volume of liquid in positive control and background wells was brought up to 35 μL, using the assay buffer.The assay plate containing C1NH inhibitors and test compounds mixed with human plasma and ellagic acid and appropriate controls was incubated at 37° C. for 5 min. A 10 mM stock solution of substrate Z-FR-2-AMC was diluted to 133.2 μM in the assay buffer, and 15 μL of the diluted substrate was added to each well, to yield a final substrate concentration of 40 μM in each well. The reagents were mixed well by shaking the plate gently for 30 sec.The enzyme reaction was quantified by immediate kinetic reading of the assay plate using excitation/emission wavelengths of 330 nm/440 nm respectively. Fluorescence intensity was recorded for 60 min, using a time interval of 43 sec.The inhibition activity of the test compounds were evaluated using the EC50 values, calculated according to the dose-response curve of the test compounds, fitted using the log(inhibitor)−response (variable slope) equation in GraphPadPrism software (GraphPad Software, Inc.).
